Katatonia is one of very few metal bands out there who understands how to combine electronic music with metal. Had Katatonia quit doing their trip hop electro thing, I would probably like them 30% less. It's a big part of what makes them sounding fresh..
Listening to other electronic artists is something I concider very much related to Katatonia..
There's a difference between being obscure and electronic. Quite a few people around here enjoy Massive Attack or what have you. I myself am a huge fan of electronics in music.
What Lyre was trying to say is obscure as in unheard of (at least to the majority of the members of the board).
